Fixing SSH/SFTP client connection issues involving Diffie-Hellman-Group1-SHA1

When you’re troubleshooting connectivity issues between Secure Shell (SSH)/Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) clients and servers, it pays to inspect the error messages generated on both sides of a connection. Those messages often provide vital clues about the problem. If your error messages involve the Diffie-Hellman-Group1-SHA1 key exchange algorithm, you’ll want to stick around. In the succeeding sections, we’ll be discussing the underlying cause of this particular issue and how to fix it.

Why UDP file transfers are up to 100x faster than TCP

Moving large files farther: Why UDP file transfers are 100x faster than TCP The total time required to transfer large files over the internet can take ages. It gets even worse if your recipient is halfway across the globe. While many organizations transfer files through popular transmission control protocol (TCP)-based methods like file transfer protocol (FTP), secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) and hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), you can actually achieve shorter transfer times with the user datagram protocol (UDP). So, just how much faster can UDP be?
